Short cycle times, a high level of automation and a low rejection rate are key parameters in the automotive industry. Electron beam technology offers the perfect prerequisites for welding conductive metals such as copper and nickel or lightweight metals such as aluminum and aluminum alloys with very narrow seams or for hardening components.
The electron beam is also an efficient and economical tool for precise welding of filigree copper hairpins such as those used in electric drives. Electron beam technology offers manufacturers easy automation, comprehensive monitoring of all process parameters and high design freedom for the production of vehicle components such as chassis, drive trains, transmissions and engines. Aerospace companies have been relying on products developed by pro-beam for many years.
Our electron beam technology is perfect for large components with aerodynamic properties, complex structures and demanding materials such as titanium alloys. Thanks to our automated seam tracking process, we increase the output five-fold during the welding of engine blades. Electron beam technology is now also the main process used for repair welding.
The continuous recording of process parameters ensures quality monitoring and documentation at all times. With a potential weld penetration depth of over mm and a narrow seam geometry, the electron beam is ideal for welding thick-walled components and stainless steels, as for example used for containers and vessels in mechanical and plant engineering. E-Beam welded seams don't just have a high load-bearing capacity, but they also ensure leak tightness.
This joining technology reliably prevents the vessel contents being contaminated by the manufacturing process because no additional material is required for the process. In addition, production time can be reduced thanks to the one-step welding process and the fact that, in contrast to conventional welding processes, no reworking is required.
